Oli McBurnie did extremely well for a young striker, but the supporting play from the likes of Tom Cairney and Matt Ritchie left a lot to be desired.

There were also the usual question marks over Callum Paterson’s defensive capabilities.

I don’t think there were too many positives, and the first half performance was that bad I think Alex will have them much more focused in other games. But, at this experimental stage, the gaffer only needs to find a few positives to make it a worthwhile exercise.

I’d like to see a good few changes – around 50% – for the Hungary game, as you’ve got to have a look at players.

Jon McLaughlin in goal, Ryan Christie, Kenny McLean, Ryan Fraser and John McGinn all need time in a dark blue shirt.

What Alex then has to do is decide on his go-to tactics and personnel for the next two games – away to both Peru and Mexico – before the UEFA Nations League starts in September.

Having so many games to build up to a competitive league of three – which contains two teams, in Albania and Israel, substantially below the Scots in the world rankings – is a fantastic opportunity for the new boss.

Topping that table come November has to be in Alex’s mind so his side can go into pot three for the Euro 2020 qualifying draw.
